I agree. Bitcoin may have secured its place in history, but somewhere along the way, it drifted from the vision that made it revolutionary
Solana still carries that rebellious cypherpunk energy, with the speed and ambition to push those original ideals forward

Solana is Bitcoin 3.0!
I say this as a 2013 Bitcoiner who witnessed the gradual corruption, capture & destruction of BTC
Today, nothing remains of BTC's original vision; from purpose to economics, they changed it all
That original cypherpunk spirit still thrives in SOL today!

HijackingBitcoin.com tried to warn people!
At what point does BTC become a scam?
BTC has a collapsing security budget, which undermines scarcity & it cannot evolve to save itself!
Insiders saw the math for years & continued lying to the public anyway
BTC is now a trillion-dollar meme coin sold to the next greater fool!

I agree with Justin. The security budget is a big issue.
If the Bitcoin mining industry doesn't grow, there's no way for the underlying asset's value to grow.
This is why security budget undermines scarcity.
Once you think outside the block you'll realize a 2nd subsidy is the most viable solution.

Miners think in quarters; stakeholders think in decades—Zebras think in millennia: empower zec ztakers ztacking zats. 🛡️🦓🦓🦓
Follow the money in the Crosslink fight!
ZEC miners will collect $658M this year alone. Crosslink will move half of that reward to the stakers
Nobody has a stronger incentive to keep ZEC on PoW...

I agree with this.
The people who have a long-term stake in ZEC should have a stronger voice in shaping its future.
Aligning incentives with long-term commitment is a good way to strengthen the network

Justin Bons killing it in the crypto space yet again with his great critiques on a particular coin
The "encrypted Bitcoin" narrative is the biggest threat to Zcash!
It sounds like a compliment, yet it means inheriting BTC's fatal flaws:
Unsustainable security, unscalable, slow & centralized without stakeholder voting
ZEC deserves more than being a pet rock with privacy! ⚠️

a part of the zcash community is hating on @Justin_Bons for this post, but he is right. i've seen this happening over and over again with other communities.
the good part:
most of the people mad about bons saying the quiet part loud are those who came into zcash:native for numbers-go-up.
the og community who has been around for the true mission of building p2p, encrypted money (privacy, freedom, self-custody, etc) understand what justin means.
an even better part:
zcash devs who care about the mission are already researching and building solutions for each of these things.
• unsustainable security: @ShieldedLabs is R&Ding crosslink
• unscalable, slow: @TachyonZcash addresses exactly these two points
• centralized: on this we have already improved a lot in recent years, with many independent organizations building around zcash. i believe we will continue seeing improvements on this area. big kudos for @zodl_app @ZcashFoundation @ZcashCommGrants @ZcashLabs and many others for their contributions.
• stakeholder voting: there are a few ongoing experimental governance projects on zcash. there are still in experimentation and research, with ongoing discussions related to that and how to improve zec governance even further.
so, i'm optimistic.
things are not built over night.
they take time. especially decentralized things.
zcash is moving the right direction, but we need to keep improving and reject the bitcoin modern culture. learn from bitcoin past mistakes and be better.
zcash is not encrypted bitcoin.
it's a whole new and better system.
writing its own story.
onward!

He's right, you know.
I didn't stop using Bitcoin 10 years ago because it wasn't private enough.
I did because it was unusable digital cash.
"Like Bitcoin" isn't a compliment in 2026.

Privacy isn’t one thing.
It’s freedom. Individuality. Choice. Decentralization. Control over your own money.
The crypto privacy community defines it in their own words.
Different answers. Shared principle: privacy is part of being free.
What does it mean to you?

Something for something.
Permissionless still means permissionless for people opposed to freedom.
The cost is real.
The exit is also real.
Both stay in the picture.

Crypto theft now makes up 22% of North Korea's GDP!
Crypto is unwillingly funding a horrible & tyrannical regime
The DPRK is the antithesis of freedom, not at all what crypto is meant to stand for
Crypto still does more good than harm, but this weighs heavily on the scales: ⚖️
